Hey guys! Thank you very much! I have hit over 1000 views, so here is a little info.

Guest - I am trying to accommodate the appearance of Typhon, as I really wasn't considering it before. There are many mighty creatures and monsters to deal with, and Typhon might fall short of making the list; but hopefully not! Typhon was a big part of The Last Olympian, so to use Typhon could spoil its appearance. Please enjoy, and don't worry, there are plenty more big creatures to encounter, :)

Also for past reviews, I will keep the Percabeth up, and I have slightly modified the first two chapters, felt like they needed a few more touches. No plot changes, just more detail so you can go back and red if you want. Doesn't matter if you don't though.

Remember guys, if you have reviewed one chapter, you can review another. The guys who have reviewed, favourited or followed, thank you, you are why I write and post :)

Finally a little trailer here for you, a hint:

There should be about 25 chapters! Could be more, could be less, but within the region of 23-30. And remember some of the quite massive enemies, soon we shall deal with them, or some anyway!

I am always thinking of ideas for new stories, and I think I have one, and it might be a crossover… so be prepared! I am very excited, for the future of this story and others.

As always, I will post the next chapter after some reviews. Read, Enjoy and REVIEW! :)


Hazel

A loud shout ripped through the air. Hazel drew her breath, ready for what was going to happen. She had faced battles before, but that didn't mean there wasn't a tight knot in her stomach. Nico sidled up towards her, his head shrouded beneath a hood. She was glad to see him again, safe. And he had managed to re unite the camp. I mean, yes, there was still going to be some… tension, but it was a start. And with leaders from both camps working together, fighting against a common enemy, it was only a matter of time before the tension eased. Following him was a small group of demigods from the Ceres/Demeter and Mercury/Hermes cabins. Nico wasn't likely to make an inspiring speech, so she took the lead.

"Romans, Greeks, help me and fight!" A wave of unease rippled through the crowd before her. Some friendly looking Greeks, who probably listened to Annabeth, raised their swords, as did some Romans, who knew her. Some left the swords in their scabbards. Hazel ignored them, and as she was about to follow up her speech.

"We have to fight. Both leaders of both camps have decreed this. If we do not Gaia will win. We are all demigods, so we fight. Together. We are covering most of Eastern Athens. Make sure you don't get too drawn in. Remember, this isn't likely to be the main attack, so it should be simple. " She said, her head up.

This time the Greeks cheered, but some of the Romans followed. They waited, the line of monsters in the distance becoming clearer. She began to learn some of the other demigods' names. Amelia from Camp Half blood was 15 and could manipulate the growth of plants, a skill common to both Roman and Greek demigods of Ceres apparently. Michael, son of Hermes was a handy swordsman. She realised some of these people had never been in a proper battle, and she would have to lead them.

She decided to split themselves into three teams. She would lead one, Nico would lead another. They would consist of five other demigods. The final team of ten would be in the central area. A layer of nervous anticipation settled on everyone, as they waited.

Then a loud screech filled the air, breaking the aura of silence immediately. Thrust into the battle, Hazel felt insecure, and for a second wished her friends from the Argo were here. She thought of her friends and quickly remembered her trustworthy horse, Arion. She whistled loudly, and drew a gold nugget from the earth. The demigods watched in wonder as the horse sped towards her, stopping in front of her. She smiled, a real companion in battle. She fed him the nugget, and he snorted, happily. She jumped up to his back, patting him. He leapt forward, alert.

The teams split up and slowly advanced forward. A couple of dracaenae, a mixture of snake and woman, with double snake trunks hurled themselves forward, but were cut down by swords. Within seconds three more dracaenae appeared, along with some fire-breathing horses. Keenly, Michael stepped forward, his whirling sword cutting down a couple of the fiery manes. As he did this Nico backed him up, raising spirits from the ground, and arrows whizzed through the air, flying at their targets. However, with frightening speed a dracaenae lashed out on Michael. Without thinking Hazel flew forward on Arion, blocking the blow. Nico finished it off, with a blow from his deathly black sword, as the final fire breathing horse fell to the ground, tangled in thorns. But as she turned round, a camper was lying on the floor, in pain. He had been burnt by fire-breathing horses, and was lying on the floor, in apparent agony.

His friend from the Hermes cabin was cleaning it up, but the boy still looked in pain. Hazel trotted over, and got off Arion. With a cold feeling in her stomach, she remembered this was a war. There would be casualties. Even some of her friends. She thought of Frank, and everyone, and prayed that they were all right. She kneeled down next to the boy. He could be healed. "Are you okay?"

"Arghhh. No, no I'm not." He replied groaning, his blonde hair coated in sweat. Hazel turned quickly and gave his some nectar, immediately restoring colour to his face. But there was no more rest time as a howl swept through the city.

A whole hoard of empousai approached, followed by another line of dracaenae. After them followed a couple of chimera, horrid beasts, children of the original one, having the same furry face and snaky features. And the deadly poison. Hazel realised that the giants were ramping up the levels, almost like a video game. Nico's spirits raised their swords, charging, and his brow furrowed, concentrating hard. More organised now, vines popped up from the earth, and the grass between them grew to almost a metre within seconds. The Demeter cabin was doing well, and causing harm. Michael led a charge, sword forward, sweeping left. Nico's ghosts recklessly attacked the dracaenae, as the empousai sprinted forward, viciously snarling. Arion reared up kicking the first dracaenae, and Hazel swung her sword, killing a second. She paused, in a brief respite, watching Michael's friends working their way towards the back of the dracaenae, only suffering two injuries.

Hazel sprung into action, dancing through the empousai, as she attempted to make her way towards the chimera. "Amelia cover me, I'll deal with the chimera!" Hazel yelled, and without hesitation she leapt gracefully over the rest of the empousai, who looked at her in disbelief, as arrows sliced through the air towards them.

She headed for the chimeras, who were cowering behind the cover of the dracaenae. As she looked at them, they turned towards her. One bounded towards her, it's glistening fangs bared, ready to strike. Arion darted straight at it, dummying left, and sidestepping right at the last moment. As she slashed at it, she realised it had dodged and was now behind them, herding them towards its brother. She concentrated hard, attempting to manipulate the mist, to make sure one thought she was moving left, and the other thought she was going right. Too late it realised the trick. The chimera spat poison at the fake image, which flew right through it. Now that the chimeras were split up, she threaded her way past one, and turned on its back, killed it, as she stabbed directly down. The other, it's brother now dead, sprinted from where it came. Hazel, determined to find out where their camp was, called the others onwards, and followed the animal. It weaved in and out of streets, trying to keep itself on the edge of Hazel's sight. She felt the presence of others, and realised that the others were struggling to keep up.

Suddenly Nico appeared beside her shadow travelling, following her. "Hazel, Hazel, stop!"

He gasped, almost making it inaudible. But she was intent on killing this beast.

She urged the others on, bringing them directly into a large square, where the beast stopped and circled. As it circled her, the others finally caught up, entering the square. Arion whinnied loudly, rearing up, but Hazel forced it forwards.

Instantly hundreds of beasts screeched, exiting there hiding places, and charging on the demigods in a circle. Dracaenae, empousai, chimera and many other monsters charged, ready for the slaughter, hungry for blood.

Hazel had fallen straight into a trap, and had brought two camps to die with her. What had she done?

"ITS A TRAP!" Nico shouted, out of breath, as he reached her. He stopped, surveying the surrounding army. Hippalectryon and harpies joined their ranks. As they charged inwards, they forced the camps to huddle next to each other, in a tight circle. Just then a booming voice rang out.

"Excellent, excellent. Well done my little army. Really this was a wake up call. But you demigods couldn't even deal with this tiny army. Quite pathetic really. There will be more, much more. But, you have allowed us to get this far. Kill them all, except the one on the horse, she is one of the seven. She is mine!" He laughed.

Hazel watched as a giant, with silver and gold braided hair, and slithering, green legs emerged from behind a tall building, and stepped between his army. "CHARGE!" He hollered.
